FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. â?? Roddy White did not practice for a third consecutive day and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

There's no question to one of White's Atlanta Falcons teammates he'll play through a sore knee to face the defending Super Bowl champs in a rematch of January's Wild Card round game.

"Hey man, how many games has he missed in his career?" wide receiver Harry Douglas said of White.

That would be a whopping zero.

"There you go," Douglas said with a laugh.

White laughed while sitting at his stall nearby, listening to Douglas. Per team policy, he did not speak to reporters because he did not practice this week. He did partake in a game of trash-can basketball, though his jumper seemed to be a bit off. (Perhaps because he's not getting enough lift on account of the knee? Or not.)

Douglas is also listed as questionable with a rib injury, though he's even more sure he's playing than he is about White. Douglas practiced in a limited capacity all week.

"I'm ready to roll, ready to go," he said.

The Giants have much bigger injury issues. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw will miss his first game of the season because of a sprained knee, which isn't a shocker considering coach Tom Coughlin didn't sound too hopeful on Wednesday. Rookie David Wilson gets the start a week after setting a franchise-record with 327 all-purpose yards.

The Giants will also be without cornerback Prince Amukamara (hamstring) and safety Kenny Phillips. Like Bradshaw, they've been ruled out.

So in the battle of the banged-up Falcons' targets vs. the battered Giants' pass defense, it appears the Falcons are much better off. The Giants will be forced to start rookie third-round pick Jayron Hosley, who impressed in the preseason with a 77-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Jets and picked off Cam Newton in the Week 3 romp of the Carolina Panthers.

"He's cool. He's a young guy," Douglas said. "We've played against a lot of young guys, we've played against a lot of veteran guys and a lot of in between guys. But if our offense does what we have to do, we'll be all right."

Defensively for the Falcons, safety William Moore (hamstring) and defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux (ribs) are questionable. Moore, who missed Sunday's game against the Panthers, didn't practice all week. Babineaux was limited Friday.
